Washington Offers
Comment on 1 okyo
Claim; May Be Part of
Drive on Japan
Washington, May 11 — (AP)
—The United Slates lia.s launch
ed the lontf-expected attack to
drive Japan out of the Aleutian
islands.
American troops lauded mi
the island of Attn <>n Tues
day, the Navy announced today,
and were met by Japanese of
unknown .strength.
They are locked in battle now.
The situation is still not clear,
but United 'States air and sea
forces presumably are partici
pating in an all-out hid for an
early decision. 1
(/»'</ Tin Aasnciiitiii I'rcss)
Japanese imperial headquar
ters reported today tT7at Ameri
can troops had landed on Attn
I island at the western tip of lite
Aleutians, less than 2,(100 miles
frqm Tokyo and said bitter
fitfhtinjj was in progress.
Attn lies 0(H) miles west of
the bijf United States base at
•Dutch Harbor. Alaska. It was
occupied by the Japanese last
June 8.
The Japanese communique. as re
corded by the U. S. Federal Com
munications Commission, declared:
^Imperial headquarters. May 14. -I
| p. m. (.'5 a. m. EWT):
j "Crack American lorccs began
I landing at Attn island :ti the Aleu
tians on May 12. Our forces oil
I the .same island have intercepted
I them and are now en&iKhiK them
I ii fierce battle."
In Washington, official confir
mation was lacking. The Navy
and War Departments maintain
ed their traditional policy of not
rommentiiiK on Tokyo broad
casts.
Tokyo's report of a surprise
.American sea-horne attack on At
tu island was the sccond hwlira
tioti within a week that a deter
i mined campaign was under way
to drive the enemy out of the
Aleutians and clear the way for
a possible thrust across the step
